God Will Meet All Your Needs

 Guest Blog by Gary Riedel

S - SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

O - OBSERVATION: So often we as God’s people have a tendency to worry about tomorrow, we’re concerned about how the future will play out. We wonder if we’ll have enough food to eat, enough money coming in to pay the bills, or enough set aside for retirement. Or we may worry in our case at AIC if we’ll ever get an Associate Pastor, or another position filled but God says He will meet all our needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. You see, God is the owner of all, he will insure His people have what they need. Not necessarily what they want, but what they need. His ways are better than ours, and He cares for us. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.

A - APPLICATION: So in every facet of life we may have a tendency to be apprehensive about what tomorrow will bring, but this verse tells us our God has the resources, the riches to provide everything we need. How can we be sure? We can read His Word daily, we will see how He fulfilled His promise of sending Jesus to save us and make the way for our salvation. We can attend a church that speaks  the truth of God’s Word, thereby also increasing our faith as
we fellowship with fellow believers. We can pray for a full measure of the Holy Spirit to help us understand  the truths of scripture. Psalm 36:5 Your love O Lord, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the skies. We can trust God’s faithfulness to His people!

P - PRAYER: Gracious Father, help us not to spend our time in needless worry, for it steals our joy. Rather let us faithfully trust You Lord, to provide for our needs out of Your Glorious ability to do that, and May we then give the Glory to You alone! In Jesus Name, Amen
